I'm running 255/35R18 Federal 595RS-Pro and like them alot. Pretty affordable and nice level of grip.
Pros: affordable, nice grip
Vehicle:
Mazda
In size 225/40 (r18), their thread width is comparable to other makers ~205. Well, does it matter? Yes, in the sense that when you install them onto an 8.5 wide rim, you'll notice that you're stretching the fit, and the sweating starts. Installing a tire alone with a basic tire machine is no longer possible.
Cons: stretching the fit
Ran the original tires for 6yrs just replaced them with some Federal Evoluzion ST-1 225/50ZR/17 high performance tires summer only all Im going to say is money well spent ????
Pros: money well spent
Just the loudest tires on planet earth. Boy do they grip through!
Pros: grip through
Cons: loudest tires
I just went from Federal 595 RS-RR (very loud but performed well on street and autocross) to their 595 RS-Pro (waaaaay quiter, I love these tires so far).
Pros: performed well, waaaaay quiter
Cons: very loud
I also own a set of these, I can confirm. Fits my BMW very well as they used to make airplane engines, and these sound like a Messerschmidt prop plane.
Pros: fits BMW very well
Cons: sounds like plane
Vehicle:
BMW
They seem to grip decent once warmed up, but they are a bit on the loud side.
Pros: grip decent
Cons: a bit loud
